Abstract: Generic Attributes (GAs) are measures of process performance introduced by the systems engineering capability model, EIA/IS 731. The systems model defines two GAs—Effectiveness and Value. While the concept of GAs is generally accepted as valid, they have been used very little, due to difficulties in interpretation and appraisal. Revised definitions and a new approach for appraising and using GAs have been developed for the Federal Aviation Administration Integrated Capability Maturity Model® v2.0 (FAA‐iCMM®). The improved approach to Generic Attributes provides the needed clarity and measurement objectivity. Definitions of the iCMM® GAs and their relationship to process model concepts are described in this paper, along with a practical approach to appraising GAs. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
